Highly recommended for lighter waterproof cameras in and around the water

Actually, I had already a higher-priced "Floating Strap", with which I was very pleased, this was but the last holiday spontaneously given a nice dive guide, who unfortunately did not get anything in his country and had recently lost a brand new camera because they was not just backed up with this simple but ingenious product.

The idea of ​​a "floating Straps" is as simple as practical: An underwater camera or a waterproof valuable asset that should be lost in or on the water under any circumstances (such as a smart phone in waterproof case or a lamp) to allow so the wrist be fixed so that it can be taken still in the hand and fully remains usable. That works naturally with a normal wrist strap already well, just spread through the greater width of the loop of the pressure much better, so that the band can not cut if you have larger train to the camera, for example, when you jump into the water with her , Should the camera by unfavorable circumstances but once detached from the wrist or fall out of the boat into the water, without prejudice to the second securing mechanism of the floating Straps: The band folds on the integrated floaties and attracts by its buoyancy otherwise by their weight on the ground of the water falling camera to the surface, where they can collect a lot easier again normally as the bottom of a sea or lake.

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical, in an emergency to entrust such a cheap product estimated my camera, but I said it for that low price just to try it and possibly just continue to buy another tape. The more astonished I was when I realized that the "Floating Strap" from previous MOGOI actually in almost all points surpassed even my.

Both bands are pretty much the same size and consist of absolutely equal materials. However, the old man had five float, while the newly purchased consists only of three. That was, curiously, one of the main shortcomings of the old band, because by the five-part construction, it was an overall idea too long for my wrist. So it does not easily slipped over my wrist, so I had tied two elements with a cable tie and so shortened it virtually. Such tinkering are not necessary in the band of MOGOI, here is the right fit exact scope from the outset with the drawstring was set.

To connect the strap to the camera or to remove them quickly from the wrist, the front panel can be detached with the attachment loop with a small plug. Likewise, you can do so by using the camera back into her bag and the floaties separately dry somewhere without having to take the same loop from the tab. This plug is conveniently was somewhat larger than in the old band and therefore much easier to open when wearing gloves. It includes also significantly stronger than that of the high-priced product, which, however, also been closed without objection.

Was not forgotten to install a robust small loop through which you can attach the camera with a carabiner to the clothes, especially on a life jacket or a diver Jacket.

The buoyancy of floating MOGOI Straps for my underwater camera, which weighs about 200g, more than adequate. He should actually bring all popular compact and Action Cams safely to the water surface, which does not weigh much more. Properly heavy cameras in special boxes you have to back up a little differently but probably. When diving, however, the buoyancy of the band falls not on and does therefore in no way disturbing. Plotting the camera in the water not at the wrist, provides the buoyancy also ensures that the tape can not really show up in front of the camera lens.

The only downside that I is not yet realized that the cord between the band and the camera has failed somewhat scarce. But you have to say that I have very long hands and thus a longer distance is overcome by the wrist to the index finger on the trigger. For that I have on the other hand very small wrists and thus lose only minimal string for attaching there. Overall, it is sufficient in any case for me. However, anyone who has both hands very long and a very high wrist circumference, may have to expect that this floating strap could turn an idea too small for him. It should however be quite easily possible to extend the length of tape where appropriate with a further attachment loop as desired. A fastening eye on the right side of the camera is in any case a prerequisite when the tape as when delivered to the wrist to be worn.

The MOGOI Floating Strap is available in different colors. But I would strongly recommend this to select practical and not for fashionable aspect. Drives the camera on Floating Strap to the surface, Blue is certainly the worst wiederzufindende color. Choosing a signal color as orange or yellow makes perfect sense here.

I can at this low price but in any case, recommend that MOGOI Floating Strap simply try it. A precious underwater camera and the photos it contains or other objects should just be worth a few euros a hedge and I can after a few years already no longer imagine without floating diving Strap. In this case, even an absolute low price products is by no means worse than its higher-priced competitors, if not better even in the details. So this article is to recommend both for its performance and its price / performance ratio definitely recommend!
